cry 40 was in prison. Is II any wonder
that those who held the good name OF
Kansas in high esteem, entered then in
good earnest on war against the liquor
traffic, which crusade was opposed by
their present governor (Martin), as he
said it was an "unwisc and unlawful in.
fringement, because il would fail in ac-
complishing the object, because it could
not be enforced"
What does Governor Martin say now.
after five years trial: There is not az

great reform has been accomplished in
Kansas by prohibition. Thousands o.

Texas in 1880 had population of
! ,59l 900 and 1859 saloonists, or one to
every 12G0-about same as kansas-and
of her population, one in every 500 was
in prison. The prohibition amendment
ought to have been placed before the
people years ago, and the State got rid
of this blighting, whitening curse which
lands one in every 500 in her prisons.
With partial prohibition in Georgia
there was only one saloonist to every
1000 of her population, and one prisoner
to every $50.
In Maine, where prohibition has been
tried longest. there was one saloonist to
every 1900, and one prisoner to every
1000 of her population.
Texas had one saloonist to every 1850
of her population. Maine had one to
every 1900. Texas had one prisoner to
every 500. Maine had one to every 1000
of her population. Texas had free whis-
ky. Maine had prohibition that don't

Mainc's prohibition may not keep out
all whisky, but it does keep more people
out OF Jail than Texas whisky, three to
one, according to the statistics of the
United States.
There are one hundred deceased estab'

A VIEW OF VICTOR HUGO.
What Is Thought Of the Great Writer by an
Indiana Translator of His Works

Prof Melville B. Anderson, teacher of ltera-
ture and history at Purdue University, and
translator of Victor Hugos great work. will
lam Shakespeare" read TO company of nearly q
hundred ladies and gentlemen, a. the rooms of
Miss Catherine Merrill, carefully prepared and
critical address the poetry of Victor Hugo.
The structures of F. w. H. Myers. Victor Hugo's
seyerest critic, were set over against the ndls-
criminate euloges of his blind worshpers called
in France sHugo-haters. The lecturer then
proceeded to show that genuine criticism of
Hugo must lie between the two extremes, and
that his real greatness is lost sight Of by Anglo
American critics, who. in general, know him
only through the inferior translations
of his Iromances, Lies Miserables," sToilers
of the Sea-" and others. Professor Ander-
son insis ted especially that Victor Hugo's
mission was poetical rather than poltieal-the
discoverer of the poetical of the French
language Before his time the greatest French
poets-Corneille and Lamartine-had been poets
of a single style and OF monotonous versihcaton.
The real greatness of French literature before
Hugo lay in the perfection of its prose form. At
the outset of his career, early as 1881, he had
already triumphed with easy mastery over all
the technical difficulties of French versifcation
and had made of the language an instru-
ment capable of such mighty harmonies
as had hitherto been sounded only by
German and English masters. He found French
flute and left it organ He placed himself
at the head of contemporary romancers in the
.Hunchback of Notre Dame and gave the
world the most perfect example of the romantic

drama in sHernann which was suppressed by
the government in $780, after its first perform
ance at the Theater Francois, and was not revived
until fifty years later, when the poet had the
pleasure OF seeing its leading part presented at
the same theater by Sarah Bernhardt
The lecturer developed fully the hum ane and
sympathetic side of Hugo's genius, so lacking in
Goethe, the only poet of the century who can be
placed By the side of Hugo. He illustrated the
style OF Hugo by passages from his translation
OF Hugos SHAKESPEARE. This book was originally
designed to let the French people know about
the able translation of Shakespeare by the poets
son, Francois. In this critique the name of
Shakespeare serves merely as a text upon which
vey OF all the masterpieces of human literature,
ancient and modern. Such vivid portrait
ures are not matched elsewhere
IN critical literature. In this work
the poet marshals before us Homer, Eschylus,
Job, Isaiah, Ezekiel. ST. John, ST Paul. Luz
cretius, Juvenal Tacitus, Rabeas and Ger
yantes. Hugo's aim in the book is to show the
relations of literature and life: that tho aim of
the poet is to ameliorate the condition Of the
masses, rather than to furnish pleasure to the
select and cultivated few. Hugo's Shakespeare
is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces of its
great author, and Prof. Andersons translation
will take permanent place in literature
The lecture was listened to attentively, and at
its close many questions were asked, and an an
mated and interesting conversation was held
upon the topics presented.
Professor Anderson returned to Purdue last
evening He is not unknown to the literary cir
cles of this city, having Taught French and Ger
man literature three years in Butler University,
and for five years in Knox College, Galesburg,
ILL.,, leading center of education in that State.
